RR 110-1 (9 Ovs) vs LSG 220-5 | SCORECARD

Rajasthan Royals continue their strong chase as Digvesh Rathi is introduced into the attack.

Dhruv Jurel gets into rhythm quickly, starting with a crisp boundary before rotating strike with a couple of quieter deliveries. He then finds the fence again with another well-timed shot, as RR keep the scoreboard moving despite two dot balls to finish the over. It's 8 runs from it, and after 8 overs RR are 84/1.

Akash Singh continues but is taken on immediately by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The youngster launches a six first up, follows it with a boundary, and even when he miscues one, it still finds the gap for four.

Sooryavanshi then brings out another six and races to 45 off just 21 balls. A couple of wides add to LSG's frustration as he nears his fifty in style, finishing the over on 49 off 22 balls.

It's a brutal passage of play -- 26 runs from the over, and after 9 overs Rajasthan Royals are flying at 110/1.
